Thus Sayeth The Lorde

[00:00.45] My open eye to the light
[00:05.33] Move to the shadow
[00:08.13] Wait for it, wait for the night
[00:12.74] Wait for the light in the night
[00:16.50] Move with the stars in the night
[00:20.10] Wait for it, wait for the night
[00:25.11] My open eyes to the right
[00:30.12] Even the fallow
[00:32.83] Waits for it, waits for the right
[00:37.59] Waits for the right time, you and I
[00:42.28] In the mire, here it is shallow
[00:48.57] Shallow
[00:51.85] Shine, you and I, broken light
[01:09.60] See it's inside you and you're made for it
[01:14.23] Made for the fight, made for the fight
[01:19.24] You were right, move to the stars in the night
[01:23.96] Into the sunrise
[01:28.19] Speak on it, speak for the right
[01:32.88] Reach for the right light, you and I
[01:37.50] In the mire, leaving the shadows
[01:49.29] Wait for it
[01:49.96] Wait for it (Wait for it)
[01:59.14] Thus saith the Lord
[02:05.29] Wait for it (Wait for it)
[02:21.09] Wait for it
[02:22.73] Audre Lorde said, "We were never meant to survive."
[02:26.90] Lorde said, "If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be
[02:32.06] Crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive."
[02:38.20] The Lord tells us that there is no thing as a single-issue struggle
[02:42.78] Because we do not live single-issue lives. The Lord said, "
[02:47.39] I am not free while any woman is unfree." The Lord said, "When
[02:51.94] The sun rises, we are afraid. When the sun sets, we are afraid
[02:56.50] When our stomachs are full, we are afraid. When our stomachs are
[03:01.01] Empty, we are afraid. When we are loved, we are afraid. When we
[03:05.69] Are alone, we are afraid. When we are silent, we are still afraid."
[03:12.41] So the Lord said, "It is better to speak, remembering we were never
[03:16.92] Meant to survive." And because she knew that speaking was going to be
[03:21.40] Uncomfortable, because she knew that speaking was going to be hard
[03:25.93] The Lord tells us our speaking out will irritate some people, get us
[03:30.45] Called bitchy or hypersensitive, and disrupt dinner
[03:35.00] Parties. But then the Lord said our speaking will
[03:39.52] Permit other women to speak until laws are changed
[03:44.02] Until lives are saved, and the world is altered forever
[03:50.25] But the Lord also said, "The master's tools will never dismantle the
[03:55.52] Master's house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his
[04:00.86] Own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine
[04:06.10] Change." The Lord said, "Revolution is not a one-time event." The
[04:11.49] Good Lord tells us there is only one thing more frightening than
[04:16.75] Speaking your own truth, and that is not speaking. Thus, Audre Lorde
[04:22.08] Said, "It is better to speak, remembering we were never
[04:27.39] Meant to survive." The Lord said, "Your silence will not
[04:32.75] Protect you." So it is better to speak, remembering we
[04:38.04] Were never meant to survive. We were never meant to survive
[04:43.34] We were never meant to survive. Thus saith the Lord
[04:51.04] My open eye to the light
[04:55.84] Move to the shadow
[04:58.68] Wait for it, wait for the night
[05:03.25] Wait for the light in the night
[05:06.91] Move with the stars in the night
[05:10.77] Wait for it, wait for the night
[05:15.62] My open eyes to the right
[05:20.62] Even the fallow
[05:23.24] Waits for it, waits for the right
[05:28.06] Waits for the right time, you and I
[05:32.77] In the mire, here it is shallow
[05:40.29]
